PandaPush_Depth_Reconstruction 💻 🤖 📹 🦾 📦

Project on the reconstruction of a scene observed by a realsense Depth camera in a PyBullet simulation through a supervised segmentation. The latter is based on a Mask-RCNN neural network (Machine Learning) trained on a synthetic database (generated for this project). This project has been realised for the aim of trajectory planning of a Panda robot for non-prehensile manipulation (push tasks) with those 3D objects.

This project was applied to detect unicolored cuboids and cylinders but was programmed in order to be easily adapted to any types of objects. Indeed, the program can work to detect other objects through the launch of the synthetic database generator with new information (geometrical propreties or simplified CAD models) followed by the launch of the training program. The main program must not be adapted to be used on other types of objects but can be improved by implementing new functionnalities. Another camera can also be used by adapting the camera class.

Deployment

  1. Download the neural network weights, stored in Google drive due to its size (250Mo > GitHub's limit of 100Mo):
cd PandaPush_Depth_Reconstruction/model_free_detection
wget --load-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt "https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm=$(wget --quiet --save-cookies /tmp/cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1HYM2qZfUeh4nNsfIYNdz92wCEfzZJ6Xp' -O- | sed -rn 's/.*confirm=([0-9A-Za-z_]+).*/\1\n/p')&id=1HYM2qZfUeh4nNsfIYNdz92wCEfzZJ6Xp" -O mask_rcnn_cubecyl2.h5 && rm -rf /tmp/cookies.txt
  1. [-] Either record a livestream:
cd PandaPush_Depth_Reconstruction/model_free_detection
python3 main.py

[-] Or run the program on a recording stored in a file "filename.bag", put it in the folder "model_free_detection/data/recordings" and then run the following commands:

cd PandaPush_Depth_Reconstruction/model_free_detection
python3 main.py filename.bag

Methodology

On Run-time steps

They corresponds to the main program that is the only file to be launched in order to run the current program as it so (therefore to detect cuboids and cylinders). For simplicity of use, a majority of the code is stored in the main.py file:

📹 Data Aquisition - aquire and save RGBD data (.ply and .png) from the camera

🧮 Treatment - isolate objects from background, segment them, aquire their pose and convert them from point-clouds (.ply) to meshes (.stl)

🖥️ Simulation - implement the Panda robot and the objects in a Pybullet simulation

🦾 Robot Control - control of the mechanical arm to interact with the objects

Pre-design steps

In order to adapt the project to detect other objects or improve performances, the segmentation model can be modified through changes in the synthetic database and training. Otherwise, if the project want to be used as it is, those files are not needed as the model as already be trained and integrated in the main program (on run-time steps).

🗄️ Synthetic Database Generation - generation of random cuboids/cylinders and generation of random scenes in PyBullet

🌱 Neural Network Training - training of the neural network with the synthetic database generated
